Power Barrows, Mini Transporters and Site Dumpers

88 products · Manual Handling and Transport

Power barrows, mini transporters and dumpers are vehicles for moving materials and loads on building sites, even where large vehicles cannot pass. They have a body or a skip, are often tracked, and can discharge by tipping or with forks.

Types in the collection

  • Tracked power barrows, petrol or electric
  • Mini transporters with a body of various capacities
  • Mini dumpers and site dumpers with a tipping body
  • Battery-powered wheelbarrows for lighter loads

How to choose

Consider the payload, the overall width for getting through narrow spaces, the type of terrain (tracks or wheels), the power source (petrol or electric) and the discharge system. Brands included: Breaker, Wortex, Imer Group, Makita, Oleo-Mac, Efco, Unimec and Officine Polieri. Before choosing, it is a good idea to measure the narrowest passages on site, such as doors and gates, and to assess the gradient of the routes, which affects the usable payload of the vehicle.

AMES Srl works on a quotation basis: tell us the payload and the site conditions and we will propose the right vehicle.

Frequently asked questions: Power Barrows, Mini Transporters and Site Dumpers
What are mini dumpers and site dumpers used for?

They move materials, earth, concrete and tools on site, even where large vehicles cannot pass. The tipping body allows unloading at precise points, while the forks lift pallets and loads. They are used on building sites, in landscaping and in maintaining outdoor spaces.

Which capacity should I choose between 300, 500 and 600 kg?

The capacity is the maximum load the vehicle can carry safely, and should be chosen with a margin above the weight of the heaviest materials. The collection includes mini dumpers of 300, 500 and 600 kg, with different bodies and configurations. Never exceed the stated capacity and also consider the weight of the operator and the mounted accessories.

Tracks or wheels: how do I choose the vehicle for the terrain?

Tracked dumpers handle uneven, muddy or soft ground well, because they spread the weight over a larger surface. Wheeled versions are more practical on compact, flat surfaces. Consider the type of terrain, the slope of the route and the width of the passages, since a wide vehicle may not fit into tight spaces.

Which Makita battery dumper should I choose between tub, frame and platform?

The choice depends on the type of load. The version with a tub and front or tipping discharge is practical for loose materials, the one with a tubular frame allows accessories to be adapted, and the one with a lifting load platform helps bring material to a working height. Check the capacity of the chosen version and the LXT battery runtime for the expected working time.

What precautions are needed to use a dumper safely?

Load the body evenly, without exceeding the capacity and without overhanging the edge. On slopes, follow the manual's instructions on direction of travel with a load. Keep a safe distance from trenches and edges, and do not let anyone ride on the vehicle. Wear safety footwear and gloves.

What is the raised sideboard kit for?

The raised sideboard kit increases the height of the body, to carry more volume of light or loose material without side spillage. It must be fitted according to the manufacturer's instructions, because it changes the load and balance of the vehicle. Do not exceed the original capacity of the mini dumper even with the raised kit fitted.

Which petrol-engined dumper should I choose for outdoor work?

Petrol-engined dumpers, such as the SFL 500 Wortex in the collection, are designed for outdoor work where autonomy is needed without an electrical connection. Refuel with the engine off and in an open area. Assess the capacity, terrain type and number of expected working hours, and compare with battery models if the work takes place indoors.
